Miss Fireing? I have had my 99 golf for nearly 6 months, recently after i change gears the car loses all power, and has big flat spots, it takes a while for it to move at all. i went to my mechanic who suggested it may be mis firing, we changed the spark plugs which made a slight difference, we then changed the petrol filter no change. My car was running ok until the otherday and it has gotten majorly worse.
